Unfortunately, the sad reality of being on the road is that on occasions a life is lost. If you are the driver of a motor vehicle where another is seriously injured, or death results, you may face very serious charges.

We at Woods & Co Lawyers have dealt with many high-profile causing death matters. We were solicitors in one matter that went before 5 Supreme Court Judges, where the Crown were asking for sentencing tariffs to be applied. Thankfully, the Full Court of the Supreme Court realised that the wide range of offending requires a flexible system. In two recent decisions, we were one of the first law firms to secure a sentence of home detention as opposed to actual imprisonment.
